Did this game deliver on the hype?

for gamers the option of payed journalists matters nothing ....

mate or guild players are everything for gamers ....

Sky is a whole different concept. Thats Several expansions in, I was referring to the release of games, and what they had available at the time

Edit: I could have been wrong about the lvl, i think 75 was later, release was 70.

Id say no, this game didnt deliver on its hype
This game was hyped up to be something it never was, and could never be. Realistic expectations were thrown out the window long ago. I feel the TOR team were pretty subdued when it came to marketing I dont think they rode the hype train hard. The fans really took control and worked it into a frenzy of expectation.

TOR isnt a bad game, its just everyone seemed to expect that TOR was going to be everything, from SWG2.0, to WoWKiller, to doing things no one had thought of but knew it would be fun, when TOR turned out to be just TOR people were wondering where all the things they had hyped themselves up had gone too.

Every MMO has the same fate these days, it gets announced, it gets hyped up by rabid Fanbois no matter how much you tell them to be realistic, the game releases, and no matter how good that game may be, it always fails to live up to self set expectations of those who hyped it, then they get angry and move on to another game.

Think we need to stop heralding every new MMO as this massive thing thats going to change the world, and go back to start treating them as games first and foremost. A MMO is still a game, but we tend to just blow everything about them out the window

Release was 50. If you want to go all the way back to JP release. NA got Rise of the Zilart with the game release which was indeed level cap 70. Which was raised to 75 before any NA had even come close to the 70 cap.

Edit: Also Sky was the first expansion. 2nd expansion was Chains of Promatia, which was Sea. I'm pretty sure something around 75% of players hadn't even got to Sky by the time COP had been released...

it would be perfectly fine if they didnt overhype and under deliver

Unfortunately, for me . . . no.

I found it extremely lacking as an MMO. Even a launch MMO.

I don't think it's the "Biodrones" that are desperate. It's the people who seem to have some kind of fetish or enjoyment out of the fact that they hate the game and so should everyone else. It is so sad really to see people lower themselves to the point of EVERY SINGLE thread that pops up they have to utter the same things over and over, Bioware lied to us, the game sucks, its boring, blah blah blah.

NO one and I mean NO one is standing next to you with a fully loaded weapon telling you to play this game. If you hate it SO much that you have to post repeatedly how bad it is I'm seriously concerned for you. I think some of these people were bullied or had awful things done to them by their parents to warrant such hate for something that let them down in life. So let it go, hate the game if you want to but be respectful of the people who come to the forums to discuss things about the game that they like and want to see improved, there ARE positives about this game.

Overhyped.

Yes. It delivered on the hype. Anyone that disagrees isn't playing, isn't playing right, is trolling just to cause mayhem, or never wanted this game to succeed.
